| Sisters’ HB Adventure 12/29/2019 #livelife #staywild |
This is the Facebook post from my first day of Chemo - they fast-tracked me, exactly one week from confirmed diagnosis, I was having my first infusion. This was due to late Stage 3, possibly stage 4 diagnosis. Follicular Lymphoma is a blood cancer - so although it is in a late stage, the stages are not comparable to cancer in an organ or one area. However, multiple lymph nodes are enlarged in my neck, chest, abdomen, and groin as well as enlarged spleen and liver. I was so bummed when I found out that the hardness I felt in my abdomen was not my "abs of steel" finally showing up!

"Not exactly the adventure I had planned for 2019, but it is the one that chose me. For those who don’t know, I was diagnosed on January 23rd with Follicular Lymphoma. If you want to know more about it, the Lymphoma Reseach Foundation website has great information. It sucks, chemo sucks, but I have an amazing village and right in the middle is my amazing sister Dana - she is my true superpower. Plus all my friends near and far and family. Please send positive vibes, prayers, and happiness my way. #fuckcancer #iamstrongerthanit #bebrave #breathe and #believe. Love and hugs are good too!!"
